Heading for Home/Trip Summary

After completing the Cassiar highway we made a fairly quick trip through the lower part of BC and across the US heading for Arizona.  We safely arrived home on Aug. 11 after 5 weeks on the road.  We had a great trip and experienced some wonderful scenery.  Our wildlife sightings were less this time than in previous years, but we did see and photograph a Yukon Wolf and a Red Fox which were very special.  In general, the weather was a little worst this time than on previous trips as we had numerous days with rain and high winds.  However, we had very little smoke from forest fires which was a nice change.

We knew we had some carrots that wouldn’t be allowed across the border so at a lunch stop we spotted some horses that were more than happy to take the carrots off our hands

Near the campground that we stayed at in Provo UT someone had an amazing collection of old oil company signs.  Lots of familiar brands.

Now that we have left the Yukon and upper BC our wildlife photography subjects have definitely gotten much smaller.  But none the less nature is still amazing.
